The Phils completed their series with the Padres tonight. J.A Happ got the start and produced a brilliant outing with 7 shutout innings on just 4 hits. Meanwhile, the Phils touched up Chris Young for 3 runs on 5 hits in just 6 innings of work, to help Happ earn the win. In other words it was another easy night for the Phils. In the top of the 1st, Ryan Howard crushed a 2 run homer to dead center for a 2-0 lead. In the top of the 4th Pedro Feliz sac flyed in a run for a 3-0 lead. In the top of the 7th Jayson Werth singled in a run and then scored on a fielder's choice for a 5-0 lead. From there J.C Romero, finally done serving his 50 game suspension, made his first appearance of the season allowing a run on a single by David Eckstein before retiring the side in the 8th. He then got the first out in the 9th before Ryan Madson came in to close out the 5-1 win. So the Phils just keep on rolling. Romero looked fairly decent tonight, for a guy who missed the first 50 games of the season. Also Happ is looking much better than I thought he would and I'm thinking he'll keep it up. Here's hoping the Phils keep up this win streak as well because this has been fun to watch. Anyway so the Phils move to 31-20 overall, 2nd best record in the Majors, behind the next team on the schedule, the L.A Dodgers, and good enough for a 3 game lead in the NL East.
